Issue ID: 10352 Summary: minor: Improve documentation of option "-n" for ldapdelete Product: OpenLDAP Version: unspecified Hardware: All OS: All Status: UNCONFIRMED Keywords: needs_review Severity: normal Priority: --- Component: documentation Assignee: bugs@openldap.org Reporter: u.windl@ukr.de Target Milestone: ---
The documentation for option "-n" in ldapdelete says: "Show what would be done, but don't actually delete entries. Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v."
However using option "-n" without option "-v" does not output anything! So the description should be improved, or "-n" should implicitly enable option "-v". Specifically it's not obvious what "Useful for debugging in conjunction with -v." refers to.

--- Comment #1 from U. Windl u.windl@ukr.de --- Maybe the description for option "-n" should be: "Don't actually delete entries (To show the entries processed (but not being deleted) use option "-v", also)."
